She reasons with incalculable speed
A rare and precious prowess to possess
Demolished in discussion, all concede
Her force, her fight, is tempered with finesse
Debating with insufferable snobs
She hammers hubris smartly to the ground
Composed, confronting disillusioned yobs
Beneath a wave of wit their doubts are drowned
Occasions when she curses, foul and free
Would scorch a shameless sailor with disgust
Her fearless flair for language is the key
She fires a phrase to watch its words combust
A mistress of incendiary speech
A talent she will test but never teach
